Tanana's career was fascinating. He was a young fireballer early in his career, lost it and then re-made himself into a crafty lefty. He wasn't the only one to do that, but I don't think too many pitchers had quite the contrast in his career that he did. It would be like Skubal losing it and then becoming Kenny Rogers.

That's the truest statement you can make about baseball.

12th in hitter WAR. 9th in pitcher WAR.

Yes, I was wrong. It was not Smith. Smith was fired at around the same time. I think Pujols may have been an interim move until Dombrowski had more time to make a decision.

The Hungary election result is huge. Everything the conservatives have been doing in the US was modeled after Hungary. It gives me hope that this right-wing authoritarian movement in the US can be not only defeated but crushed.

I though Garner was a decent manager who didn't have much talent to work with, probably the best manager of that entire sorry Tigers era between Anderson and Leyland. It was a real sharp move by Smith replacing him with Pujols. The other thing I remember about him was that he name was misspelled almost as much as Raburn. RIP Phil Gardner

I've said that all along. I wasn't saying they were bad. I was saying that they were not doing well to start the season and that was the biggest reason they were losing. Or maybe the swept because they added Perez. Not sure.

Have you not leaned anything from Adduci?

Just like Obama!

That wouldn't be fascinating. It would be depressing.

I think it's pretty much a give that those guys will not be extended.

Average defensive shortstop is very good! Nobody said he couldn't play short, but when I see "might end up at another position", it seems like they usually do get moved off the position.

I am not sure those guys will stop making too many outs, but I am confident that all three with start hitting for more power.

Correct.

I just can't imagine he has the time or desire to even bother with it other than reading it and smirking about it. I think that he selected a person who is loyal to him and can write controversial stuff that sounds like it could be him. Regardless of whether or not it's actually him though, he has to own whatever is said in those posts.
